I can replicate the behavior.
[cedwa...@pheasant ~]$ echo $(echo "1,2")
1,2
[cedwa...@pheasant ~]$ IFS=,
[cedwa...@pheasant ~]$ echo $(echo "1,2")
1 2
That should give you something to research. If IFS is unset, I'm not
sure how it would be happening. Perhaps there's a default set in your
build of bash.
